It mainly consists of two parts, namely the high-efficiency feeding network and low profile circularly polarized radiator. The feeding network is based on a sequentially fed radial planar waveguide to reduce feeding length and thus improve efficiency. Several sets of concentric annular slots are cut on the radial planar waveguide, and corner-cut patches are placed on the slots, which realizes the radiator generating rotational symmetrical isoflux CP radiation. The proposed isoflux antenna features both low-profile and high radiation efficiency. A prototype operating at 8.4GHz is designed to prove the idea.","PeriodicalId":126964,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE MTT-S International Wireless Symposium (IWS)","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131569158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, prevailing design approaches have inherent defects such as numerical aperture (NA) constraints and poor focal uniformity. To conquer these limitations, a complex-amplitude (CA) deep DoF metalens is demonstrated in the microwave region, enabled by the marriage of a novel 3D CA retrieval method and the C-shaped meta-atoms. An extended DoF of 6.9λ can be simulated, corresponding to the NA range from 0.8725 to 0.4582. Meanwhile, the lateral focal spot is uniformly distributed longitudinally, with the variance value of 21.03 in the focal spot diameter. The proposed retrieval method can provide an optimized design strategy for the deep DoF metalens, ensuring the DoF accuracy and the focal uniformity. The numerical comparison results prove the validity and superiority of this method.","PeriodicalId":126964,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE MTT-S International Wireless Symposium (IWS)","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133492504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
